Katie Ledecky Grabs Third Gold With Relay Win

She’s building a legend. Swimming the anchor leg of the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, Ledecky powered the U.S. team to a come-from-behind victory against Australia. The 19-year-old phenom now has three gold medals and one silver, with the 800 free still to come. Elsewhere in Rio Olympics history-making, Kristin Armstrong won an unprecedented third cycling time trial gold at age 42 and Daryl Homer’s silver was America’s first fencing medal in 32 years. Today, U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte will have 200 meters to catch Michael Phelps.
